Key Ingredient For Soup

From someone who did not know him well: To a supporter, a poet, a contest host Acrostic all the way to villanelle Here is my version of a toast Milt, who read new poems everyday And wrote of all the things he loved the most Unafraid to stand up, not back away Complimenting strangers as well as friends With something sincere and kind to say A spirit lives on as a good life ends Memories remain to help recoup Still writing somewhere as he transcends In a unique, diverse, poetic group He was a key ingredient in this bowl of soup

This a very nice poem about a mentor and a friend to everybody in poetrysoup. I wish I had the chance of meeting the said famed poet. I commend everybody's work and your kindness. I'm just new here. Cliff

Very nice tribute, Hat. Milt certainly made the soup more palatable. It's a bit rancid at the moment.
